Girl Scout Troop 282 of Springfield, VA spent a sunny Saturday morning selling their treasures at a group yard sale.  The scouts are saving the proceeds for an international trip in 2014.  The troop learned that the best sales technique was to have a demonstration – they tossed a toy around and someone bought it; then they rode a bike and that sold.  Next up: a Betsy Ross/Martha Washington costume!
